Miguel Almirón (now playing for Atlanta United)

[Nucasol]

Did well when he came on, far better than Murphy who was complete dogshit.

[joeyt]

That's the best I've seen his decision making for ages. Played really well

[Lotus]

Thought he looked very good. However, Blackburn were exhausted and afforded him that extra bit of time and wouldn’t get against Prem opposition.

Still, he very much exploited the situation presented to him and made a very real difference.

At his best he sets the tone for the team mentally.  Aggressive, sharp, committed. 

[gbandit]

Can’t fault the lad in terms of his mentality. He’s over achieved really when you consider his ability. It’s all down to his brilliant attitude. Glad to see him get another good performance in for us as I’m fairly sure he’ll be off in the summer 

[Beth]

He is a bottom 6 PL player but some on here think we could still get £30m for him if we sold him. However, assuming no £30m bids come in for him in the summer, as others have said he'd be a decent impact sub for the last 15 mins of games next season.

I mean, that’s clearly not true.

Perfect for the "run at tired legs" role. He'd excel at it. Not surprising his form has taken a dive when he's basically had to play every second.

 

Even a bit of rotation with Murphy as the season winds down will see him pick up again.

I think it is. His half season purple patch last year raised his stock somewhat but he's reverted to type now.

I think he would've been a lot better if it wasn't for the Bruce years. He's limited but he's much more useful than a lot of people think. Especially in a pressing team.

Yes like I said I think he'd be useful coming off the bench next season. However another downside for him is he has just turned 30, and age is less kind to wingers than any other position on the pitch.

He's not actually a bad footballer if you take his end product out of the equation. Technically he's far superior to Murphy, much better touch, speed of thought and movement. He just falls apart when he enters the final third of the pitch, but to be fair, Murphy's hardly any better.

[Big Jow]

Murphy is better at hitting the post than the actual net and that’s fairly impressive.

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

Where did that fucking pass to Barnes come from 

[huss9]

his first touch from the bruno no-look pass was amazing. shame the keeper got out so fast to make the save.

[gbandit]

Plays as a sub very well, always slots in immediately and isn’t passive. I think we’ll sell him in the summer as he’s one of the few players we could sell, get a half decent fee for and not damage our first team but I’d have no issue with him staying to be first sub on the right 

[Gallowgate Toon]

He's definitely a useful tactical player, he's just not what you want regularly starting at home against 'beatable' opposition because of his flakiness in the final third.

 

 

 

[Pilko]

I really like him as a sub against tired legs or seeing a game out. He's got a place in the squad unless we get an FFP-tastic offer imo.

[loki679]

Lovely bloke and always gives 100% but he's too limited for where we want to be.  Bring in a class RW over the summer, keep Murphy as backup and get what we can for Miggy.

True, but it also highlighted his biggest weakness. That pass was perfect for hitting first time with his right foot. The touch no matter how good gave the keeper time to close him down.

Should have Fulham'd it obviously.

I thought he should have hit it first time as well.

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

 This is not much of a stick to hit poor Miguel with.
